King Charles (K), in the pedigree shown, is a heterozygous carrier of porphyria, a recessive metabolic disorder. His genotype is therefore P+/P¹ (P' is the porphyria allele). Queen Charlotte (Q), Charles' wife, is homozygous for nonporphyria, her genotype is P+/ P+. What is the inbreeding coefficient of their great-grandson, Olaf (O)?
